'Gentle cleanser' oil on linen

The title came to me in the shower while I was scrubbing the rash on my face with QV wash, but this piece is more about prayer and peace, although the jacket is a Thai boxing jacket with this great embroidered lion and Thai writing on it. So you may ask yourself why a Japanese looking cowboy is praying in a Thai boxing gown... let me tell ya it happens every night down in Thonglor.

Modern lizard I and II
oil on linen

A view from above of a modern lizard just before it scurry's back in amongst the lush plant world. Warm on the pavement but safe in the plants, the modern lizard has to decide.

'Eliza has a new pram'
pencil and water colour, 2013

This is about the day Eliza hit the pavement with her new pusher. It absolutely dwarfed Larina's Chicco liteway stroller.
